second paragraph text is identical to some of this page: http://www.visitdunkeld.com/scottish-trivia-178.htm could this be a problem? April 27/06

I am taking it out as there has been no response. May 29/06

and have added some sourced content to replace it. June 2/06

The picture in the article looks more like Fingal's cave when I last visited it: the photo on this talk page appears to have been taken close up, perhaps using a wide angle lens, but despite looking different is probably of the same cave--dave souza 3 July 2005 23:16 (UTC)

[edit] Wishing Chair - Bad Link

The link to the Wishing Chair in the article on Fingal's Cave is to a folk rock group called Wishing Chair. I'd be interested in seeing a picture of the actual formation referred to in the article.

[edit] acoustics

BBC 1's "The Great British Summer" it was mentioned that the cave has extremely good acoustics and that many people go there to perform in order to experience the unique sound quality. Is there anyone who could confirm that and perhaps provide a paragraph on it? Have any famous bands performed there? Ammi 20:57, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] comment...

Does anyone else find the quote from Walter Scot amusing? He talks about the cave, writes an entire paragraph on the description, then ends by saying no one could ever describe it!

[edit] Translation

In reference to "Die Hebriden (in English, Fingal's Cave Opus 26)":

Doesn't "Die Hebriden" just translate to "The Hebrides"? It certainly doesn't translate to Opus 26. Greeneyzblu 21:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Good point. An over-zealous piping of the link to Hebrides Overture, have made it clar that Finger's cave is a common name for the piece. .. dave souza, talk 23:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
